    It is amazing how Petros Solomon & Semere Russom among the top others are so deeply implicated with the crimes that EPLF leadership on drenched in. I Just wish Ato Yemane had well prepared himself for the interview the way Ato tesfay Temenwo had conducted his.

    Ato Yemane should have put dates & events in sequesnce as he is implicating the top leaders, their messengers to the crimes that had been committed. It just baffles me as to why he is simply recounting this agonzing histroy from memories jumping up & down like a pendulum. He is doing a disservice to the innocent heroeines/heroes who gave their lives to a cause that they thought was a “revolution of the oppressed!”

    Ato Yemane in particular being a college student should not be shy of paper & pencil to jot down this tragic history in its sequentila order so nothing is left and everything is being told. Some chances don’t come around and he should not take this chance or life for granted without articulately narrating the so many thousands of our ordinary brothers & sisters wasted lives.

    I wonder what Ato yemane knows about a tegadalit Saba Gidey who was a graduate of Lecy’ G/mariam French school in Addis Abeba who may have been deliberatley sent to the frontline by the leadership as she was a dynamic person from what we heard. Ato yemane until now has not talked about our women tegadeltis’ difficulty, bravery and double sacrifice as they were not only facing enemy bullets but friendly male tegadeltis pressure of “indecent/forceful proposals!”.

    Ato Yemane need to do better to narrate every detail as this history will be archived at assena’s (future Eritrea’s & Eritrea’s museum) media outlet.

  • Fact-is-Fact September 18, 2014

    Saba Gidey is from dekemhare and I think she died at the front line perhaps in 1978. EPLF’s & ELF’s leadership wasted so many beautiful, dynamic lives such as in the likes of beautiful Saba Gidey and my cousins Fanus, Gere and Daniel.

    what a waste. no who really feels sorry for the G15 hearing the narration of this gruesome history. Onething is clearer now that singer Abraham Afewerki was once slapped (1999 or 2000) by Semere Russom for refusing to sing without getting paid. this was in oakland, CA. Now, we know how Semere Russom was the key player in all these assasinations that Ato yemane is narrating.

    Now if you connect the dots, what is the probability that the exceptional singer Abraham Afewerki death was foul play by none other than Semere Russom & PFDJ? you doubt. The probability is very very probable!

    Poor Abraham Afewerki like so many countless Eritreans (the “elucidated, exposed, educated”) he UNDERESTIMATED the savagness of PFDJ. And he travelled to Eritrea. Was he a reflection of Eritreans?

    is ጸማምነት an Eritrean trait? Do eritreans REACT ONLY after they are busted up, pinned down!
    After they are made to lick the dust, after they are made so crippled! until after no return?

    How can Eritreans, in the likes of Abraham Afewerki, fail to see the savagness of PFDJ as early as 2000?
    why can’t eritreans read signs? Do Eritreans think of themselves high & are blinded b/c of it? is that what happened to the singer. Did he deep down feel untouchable and headed to harms way?

    Just Painful!

      Fact-is-Fact,

      I have heard this story from a person who personally witnessed the slapping of Abraham Afwerki by Semere Russom, but I am sure it was not 1999.

    • Semhar September 19, 2014

      Dehab Tesfazion,from Dekemhare,Akeleguzay a former EPLF fighter was assasinated by the tyrant Isayas wedi Medhin Beard in 1973. Her father and her brother were EPLF fighters.

  • Bizen September 19, 2014

    Ato Yemane,

    The issue you mentioned about Eskinder Desta does not make any sense at all. Yes, Eskinder was the Grand son os Haileselasie and was comoder of the Ethipian Navy. But Eskinder was executed by Dergue along with the 60 high officials of Haileselasie 1n 1974.
    As a member of the security who was stationed in Mogadisho, you should know relevant Facts like this. Things like this make People question the issues you are bringing and the names you are mentioning.

      Bizen,

      It is easy to mixup the names, places etc. Even Ato Yemane admits that there are some mistakes in his narration. But it is very hard to remember all the details given the situation he was in. In almost all of the segments of his interview he is reminding the listners that he is offering his personal testimony as ex-insider not complete/accurate History.

    • Semhar September 19, 2014

      Bizen,

      The issue is not about the date Eskinder Desta died, but is about the serial killers like Petros Solomon and all others blind followers of the Mafia Isayas.

  • Ma'E'Kobay September 19, 2014

    To Yemane
    Please do not intimidated or scared or fear these trying to scare you. It is time to tell the truth, you need to tell us all the way deep. Sof ar we learned so many very important issues that gave us clue to the MuSH’MuSH esayas Afewerki and his crime cohorts.

    Do not worry anything your information can not used by enemy because at this time no threat to Eritrea as the times of Derg.
    Thus your information help the Eritrean people to sort out who was honest fighter, who was dishonest. Even these killed by esayas agents were not high threat to Gedli they were people who seek their own individual life after encountered bitter disagreement the Sadist Esayas. It was murder.

    You are protected by freedom of speech overall you giving very important information that helps to build new Eritrea.

    People are do not care why you left – you may have credible reason to abandon EPLF at the same time you are entitled to your rights for the years you fought so you must ask compensation from the next government.

    Everyone must know that Petros Solomon was not intelligent rather he was stooge even he handled high profile operations, killing, handling sensitive military and intelligence informations. the reason he could not understand or realize his future destroyer was at his side.

    At one time around August 1992 there was meeting for fighters at Kagnew. there the meeting was lead by Esayas and Ali said. A figher asked esayas why Tesfahuney Masho was walking freely around Hotel Hamasien and Geza manda while he was Derg high rank official. The MuSH’MuSH esayas replied I do not know, told him to ask EnDa72.Personally Esayas Aferwerki knew Tesfahuney MeAsho in early and mid 1970s so it means Tesfahuney knew a lot things about esayas. However for esayas it was first time to hear that Tesfahuney was alive and walking around Asmara. Within three days Tesfahuney MeAsho vanished.

    • Berhe Domenico September 20, 2014

      Tesfahuney Measho vanished just like many high-ranking Eritrean collaborators of the Dergue: these were, like him, regional administrators (Barka, Akele Guzai,…).

      • dawit November 6, 2014

        Tesfahuney measho is languishing in prison for the past 23 years with out justice for your information.

  • Tes September 19, 2014

    Dear Yemane,

    You are simply great and very genius. Your ability to remember events and facts from way long ago extraordinary. God bless kubur hawi and thank you for shading light into the hidden world of that mafia group. It all make senses now why we are in this current state. I am not sure if we deserve this whole of suffering but I am sure most of this suffering is because of our own past making. Our brothers let him grow in to monster in some instances offering him a helping hand. It is really sad to know a giant person like Petros solomon was his right hand man and main cooperator during that dark time when the best children of Eritrea was exterminated. Having said that I don’t mean Petros deserve what he is enduring right now. At least he came to his sense and stood tall and defend for the right and justice. It is better late than non at all. The sad thing is that the are many willing cooperators right now and the killing has been continuous unabated.

    Amaniel you are doing good job and I have high regard. However, in some occasions you trying to take over Yemane and destruct the flow. it would be great if you leave to direct the flow himself. What Yemane is telling a story based on his experiences, it is not an interview. In my opinion give him the freedom to expresses in away he see it fit. I am talking about the technicality of you interview but having said that you are the expert and i don’t mean I know. So keep up the hard work and the good service.

  • helen September 19, 2014

    Dear Yemane,
    I am enjoying your interview, keep up the good work. If you listen last week’s interview about the G15, he said the reason the G15 came after change was they were (almost ) out of work. Most of them were spending time in cafeteria. They know they were being replaced by people like Hagos Kishas and Yemanes. If they were realy after changed they would have asked long time ago. How true!. By the way did i hear correctly that Isias beat wedi Solomon in Somalia (atter Yemane and wedi Solomon follow Isias’ car)?

    • meron September 19, 2014

      iseyas has beaten many people because he is a fool. however, what we heard is Yemane say that iseyas punished Okube Abraha and Petros Solomon.

  • Solomon September 19, 2014

    Sam & Bezen,
    I think Yamane meant Commodore Tassew Desta one of the founder of EPDA & EDU, he was very close to commodore Eskender Desta. Captain Alemu abandoned Derg and arrived in Barbara in early 80’s. He handed the Warship to Somalia. The following navies and a Cook arrived in Barbara with Captain Alemu:
    1.Yemer (Wollo)
    2. Yared Kaba (Addis Abeba) Surafel Kaba’s brother who was killed by Derg
    3. Daniel (Asmara)
    4. Mekonnen (Welga)
    5. Haile (Tigray), afraid to jump from the Ship and Captain Alemu allowed him to travel
    with them.

    • Kombishtato September 19, 2014

      Thank you Solomon for the information.

      There are indeed many experts and knowledgeable people in this website.

    I am tigrawayi but i can not wait to see a strong eritrea, an eritrea that plays a decisive role in the region’s poltics. I see Eritrea as a beacon and protector of my tigrina language and culture. Tigrina is being dominated by amharic in tigray towns and cities especially mekelle. I feel like peace and cultural interaction with eritrea and eritreans can reverse the situation. Peace be to you all eritreans all over the world,

    From your brother in Shire, Tigray…
